Even though it’s tempting to keep our delicious USA Pears to ourselves here in the U.S., we know that it’s impolite not to share!  That’s why we work to make sure that USA Pears are available around the world so that as many people as possible can enjoy.  We have representatives working in 38 countries so that people like you can buy USA Pears at local supermarkets, traditional markets and fruit shops across the globe.

Last week we held meetings in Washington, DC, inviting 24 of our representatives from 18 different countries to visit our nation’s capital city and discuss USA Pears.  It also provided the opportunity to meet with all of these wonderful people, old and new friends in the USA Pear family.  We even had a special guest join us for a group photo op on Capitol Hill (if you’re having trouble spotting him, it’s that guy in the center)!

Of course I had to bring Perry along for a whirlwind tour of the city – he loves to travel and always has a big smile for the camera!
